Seafood with Soul

Evansville always has walked a fine line between its Midwestern roots and southern flair, so it’s no surprise Sam’s Southern Eatery has received a warm welcome on South Green River Road since it opened last November.

The restaurant features a wide range of southern Cajun comfort food from po’ boys and gumbo to fried fish, okra, and green tomatoes.

“I think it’s so popular because we don’t have southern areas for us to eat here,” says Natasha Hudson, one of Sam’s servers. “I’m a southern lady myself, and we need more places that sell seafood.”
